If the file type is not listed, one of the dependencies in 'txt2svg.inx'
is not fulfilled:

    <dependency type="executable" location="extensions">txt2svg.pl</dependency>
    <dependency type="executable" location="path">perl</dependency>

i.e. either the extension script is missing (incomplete installation?),
or Inkscape cannot find 'perl' in your $PATH?

<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/RELEASE_0_48_BRANCH/annotate/head%3A/share/extensions/txt2svg.pl>

Please check the contents of '~/.config/inkscape/extension-errors.log' if it 
gives any clues why the extension fails to load.
Is the perl script set as 'executable'  in your installation 
(/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/txt2svg.pl)?

** Changed in: inkscape
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
